February 14, 2024 - Valentine's Day

February 19, 2024 - Presidents Day

Each year on February 14, people exchange cards, candy or flowers with their special “valentine.” St. Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia. The holiday has expanded to expressions of affection among relatives and friends.

This federal-level holiday in the United States is celebrated on the third Monday of February. It is often celebrated to honor all those who served as presidents of the United States.
